Its interesting to read all of the whining being done by the PKers now that more people are calling their 'attack levels 1-5 with a 20th level' unacceptable.
I've talked to other people gaming elsewhere. Apparently this is one of the few online games where those who aren't interested in PvP/PK cannot opt out of it. One of the few where there are level restrictions about who can PK who.
Its immaterial that the character being PKed doesn't lose gold and xp, it has to do with some players having no interest in PK/PvP.
Last year when I was looking to game online, I checked reviews of various MMORPGs. Over and over I saw reviews that said that a particular mmorpg had gone bust because PvP/PK had become the controlling thing and everyonenot interested in that had left, because there was no way to opt out of it.
If the PvP/PK overwhelms this persistant world, I for one will be leaving.
Before anyone overreacts, I'm not using leaving as an attempt at pressure to stop PK/PvP.
I'm saying that many viable online games have an opt out for those not interested in PK/PvP.
I believe that nothing but one thing, like PK/PvP, would make a game world boring. And boring isn't the way to keep players.
I feel that those who want to PK/PvP each other, let them. Wont get an argument from me.
But those who aren't interested should be allowed to opt out.
I enjoy exploring game worlds. I don't enjoy PK/PvP.
I'm willing to accept that PK/PvP exists here, but rather obviously some of the PKers don't want anyone to be able to opt out.
Those whose only gaming 'style' is PK should realize just how boring that is.
